Coming Attractions & Giveaway - - March

 



March has arrived! And, yes, I'm still trying to figure out how that happened. Are you all tired of winter yet? Ready for the reemergence of spring flowers and good books to read outside? Without bundling up like Nanook of the North? 

I'm still working back up to my previous reading capacity following cataract surgeries so this month's schedule is a bit light in quantity. I should be back to full speed by April but, for now, here's what's happening at The Romance Dish in March. 




Stop by on Wednesday, March 4 for a review of Lonesome Ridge by Maisey Yates. This third book in the Rustler Mountain series features an enemies-to-lovers trope between two members of feuding families who prove to be much more than the person they project to the public. 




Thursday, March 5 takes us to Ireland for Hildy Dannaher Goes Off Script, a heart-tugging women's fiction/romance hybrid from Erin Knightley. This new (surprise) book, set in a small coastal village has me ready to pack my bags and catch a flight to the Emerald Isle. 




It's time for action and suspense on Tuesday, March 10 with a review of The Liar's Treasure. This second book in Connie Mann's Speranza Team series (I loved the first!), whisks readers away on a global adventure featuring "a mysterious diary and a thrilling, high-stakes treasure hunt."




Miranda Liasson is back with another installment in her The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff series. Join me on Thursday, March 12 for a review and giveaway of Take Me Home to You. This is a charming, heart-tugging story of healing, friendship, new beginnings, and fighting for what your heart knows is right. 



Stop by on Monday, March 16 for a review of How Simi Got Her Groom Back by Sonali Dev. I haven't read this one yet but the description - "
Two sisters face the real consequences of a fake marriage scheme in an emotional yet hilarious novel about immigration, healing, and family" - plus the fact that it's written by Sonali Dev have me eager to dive in. 




We're turning our focus to Romantasy on Tuesday, March 24 with a review of Queen of the Night Sky by Amalie Howard. This epic adventure story concludes Howard's Starkeeper duology. 





On Tuesday, March 31 I'll be sharing my thoughts about The Bridge Back to You by Riss M. Neilson. I enjoyed Neilson's 2025 novel, A Love Like the Sun and am looking forward to exploring a new story of second chances in The Bridge Back to You



That's the schedule for March as it stands today. Any changes will be updated on this post. 


What are you looking forward to this month?

Are any of the above books on your reading list?

One randomly chosen person who posts a comment before 11:00 PM, March 4 will receive a print copy of The Dating Plan by Sara Desai.

  1. I’m currently reading Queen Of The Night Sky by Amalie Howard.
    I’ve only read one other romantasy genre book. This story is divided into 3 parts. I finished Part 1 last night. It has me intrigued. I’m fascinated. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Sura and The Night King. There is so much going on. The author provides a map, a glossary of words which has helped.
    I’ve read several of Maisey’s books. I do like Miranda’s books too.
    I want to read Eloisa James’ and Jill Shalvis. I recently picked up Nora Roberts’ Night Watch too.

    Have a wonderful March everyone!

  2. Hildy Dannaher Goes Off Script looks interesting to me. I have a back log of February books on my TBR list. I am hoping This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page shows up on Libby for me some time this month. Also happy that Spring is just around the corner!

  10. I am hoping my eye finally heals and my double vision clears so I can do more reading. You have three here that I know I will enjoy. Hildy Dannaher Goes Off Script, The Liar's Treasure, and Take Me Home to You appeal to my likes in types of stories. I am curious about The Bridge Back to You.
    The daffodils are in bloom here and the tulips and hyacinths are up and should bloom in a few weeks. I don't mind winter, but I am over the snow, ice, and bitter cold, even though we didn't get as much as those further north. I am happy with 50's and 60's for a while. Take care and I hope your eyes clear up soon.
